Looking for hours of entertainment?
Meet, The Rollie Pollie:
It's a chair, it's a toy, it's your favorite pillow.

Made of durable cotton twill or soft vinyl, each bag is actually a slip cover (with another Rollie Pollie inside) then filled with mounds and mounds of soft cluster stuffing. So if it gets dirty, just zip it off and throw it in the wash. And with a handle on top, it's easy to toss around. Ready for a pillow fight? We'll let dad referee.

Now, pick your favorite....
And let's get started!

This PDF pattern is very detail-oriented, sharing with you all our favorite tips and info about how to make the Rollie Pollie perfect for YOU.
There are two files: a 19-page document of instructions and a 23-page document of pattern pieces (totaling appx 7 MB)....both which will be emailed to you and can printed to your home printer!

The pattern comes in TWO sizes:
Small - best for 1-2 year old Toddlers
Large - best for 2-6 year olds (girl pictured above in white dress is 5 years old)

Finished dimensions: (from one side of the rollie, half-way around, in a semi circle to the other side)
Small - 38 x 38 inches
Large - 50 x 50 inches

Note: Pattern pieces are symmetrical and can be enlarged if needed to accommodate older children. You will do this on your own (pattern pieces are only provided for the two sizes listed) but it's really just a matter of extending each piece, equal distances. Information on this included in the pattern.

Fabric/Stuffing needs are explained in the pattern but just to give you an overview, you will need appx:
2-4 yards of fabric for the Insert Rollie Pollie (cost varies depending where you buy fabric)
2-4 yards of fabric for the Slip Cover Rollie Pollie
4-10 bags of stuffing (cost varies on filling choice, but bags are appx $4-5/each)

Included in the pattern are:
* Easy-to-follow instructions for the intermediate sewer
* Beautiful colored photos
* Tons of info about Fabric selection, sewing with zippers, and filling
* Links and info about where to buy the right stuffing for your Rollie Pollie
* How-to make an Insert Rollie Pollie and a slip-cover to go over it (easy to wash!)
* Instructions on a variety of style choices for the Handle
* TWO different Child's Pattern sizes to choose from
* Patterns and measurements, which can be printed right on your home printer!

Shannon said...

I want to buy the pattern, but I live in an area with NO sewing stores! So can you tell me what the filling is? And about how much fabric? Maybe I can find it on-line.
Thanks,
Shannon.graham@gmail.com

Beth said...

Dana,
would it be possible to use packing peanuts in combination of the other filling materials.

dana said...

Beth, I have no idea on that one. I wouldn't recommend it. But if you try it and it works, please let me know!

CaRmen said...

Meagan said...

I just bought this and would like to have it sent to a different email address. Can you send it to me at christy@christynelson.net Thanks!

Janet said...

I just ordered your bean bag pattern, but I am going to fill it with my daughters stuffed animals, so I might need to make 2 with zippers. Then she can take them out whenever she wants to play with them and I have somewhere to put them. If you have any comments before I make it, I would love to hear.

Nancy said...

Hi Dana,
I want to make one for my niece for her 1st birthday...Is it fair to assume that I'll be needing 2 yds of each liner and slip cover fabric and only 4 bags of filling? I'm trying to figure out my costs. Thanks!

Easy As a Menu said...

Hi Shannon - I just purchased your pattern for this on paypal through my husband's account (tophercg), but I'm wondering if you would mind sending it to my e-mail address? easyasamenu[at]gmail[dot]com? Also, I'm actually wanting to purchase fabric right now for this project so I can create rollie pollies for my boys while my sister is in town! I'm wondering if you could tell me in advance (since the pattern takes up to 48 hours to arrive) what types of fabric are needed? Thank you very much! I'm so excited to make this - we just moved in and it's the perfect thing for the boys' room!!

Easy As a Menu said...

Hi Dana - So sorry, for some reason I thought your name was Shannon, but from the looks of it, your name is Dana. So sorry... =/ Apologies!

The Hinkle Hut said...

I bought the pattern a few weeks ago and I'm wondering what size seam allowance you did?

dana said...

I use about a 3/8 to 1/2 inch seam allowance. You can use any allowance you want as long as you're consistent throughout the project.
